With great stress comes a great lack of sleep...

I have to start off by saying, "Benita! I just found your post from this summer complaining that I only had two posts. Oops?"

Why doesn't Blogger email you when you have people post on your profile? I like Blogger, but I think it is stupid they don't have that feature.

So here I am at four a.m...

For more than a week now, my brain has refused to shut off before 3:30 a.m. at the earliest. I don't understand it. I am exhausted from school and allergies combined with work and everything else...and I still can't fall asleep.

Why is that? You would think that my brain would shut off as soon as I lay down... I think it is because I just have so much to think about and so much hanging over my head.

On the bright side: 98 days!

Only 98 days until I can go back to TN and leave Taylor behind. I am so grateful. I feel like the next 98 days are going to be awful and I have no idea how I will make it through. I am just trusting that God can nudge me forward until I can reach my goal.

I am just so weary.

Talk about Senioritis. It is here full-force kicking me in the butt right now. I have no motivation to do anything because I am too overwhelmed by the shear amount of work and the lack of time to do it in.

On the bright side, I get to go home this weekend! My Web Design teacher decided to be AWESOME and cancel class on Thursday because, "Last year I only had five kids out of 21 show up...and I just can't fight those odds."

Thanks goodness. My group that I am traveling home with could thankfully switch work around and now we get to drive back around 1 p.m. I am hoping for good weather this weekend. The forecast says rain, which is more than slightly depressing, but I'm hoping it will turn around just because I am coming home. =)

I also am hoping for a good view over the mountains when we come home because I want to show them off to my friend Karissa who hasn't seen them before. I think she will be disappointed since she is from Colorado, but maybe not.

Benita -- I miss you a lot. I hope that you are doing well and I cannot wait to see you in January! We HAVE to hang out. I know that people say that and that lives get busy...but this will be our last "big hoorah." Basically.

Which sucks. I am sad that I just started to get to know you at the end of Taylor. You are so fun to be around.

Everyone -- I am sorry that I am awful at updating my blog. I am surrounded by a massive amount of papers and homework and trying to juggle that with being "Intentional" with other people. I am sad to say that since the first few weeks at school, I have not really been able to do any dinner dates. I miss them and I am sorry if I didn't get to you. Seriously.

Well, I feel like I have blabbed on for a while, so I will go...

Hopefully sleep will come soon.
